@zompus Sharpened, #Guillotines

KKKlanada: this country is a sick joke.
The federal gov't wants props for giving people tax money to offset the price gouging of the billionaire Weston grocery parasytes.

The revolution won’t be televised because it won’t happen until the poors can no longer afford #TV sets.

When their #brains become unwrapped from #primetime pap, they’ll look around, realize how shitty their #existence is, and start building #guillotines.

Keep gouging rich bitches. You’ll only accelerate the inevitable.

This is so seriously f'd up, I don't even have anything except incoherent screams of rage. Have the #GOP and #Treasury not remembered that all the successful #revolutions were because people were starving and had nothing left to lose? That we have homelessness and hunger in the richest nation in the world is obscene. That people are PROFITING on that hunger is a reason to learn how to make #guillotines.

However, one of the greatest #tricks the #devil ever pulled was the #invention of #propaganda convincing the poor they had rights without duties. Under a #capitalist system it is OUR DUTY to hold the #elite to account and throw them from their lofty perches when they forget they too owe duties to the rest of us. Duties such as preserving the #planet for the use of our #progeny. Duties such as paying living #wages. It’s our duty to hold them to account. That’s part of the contract. #Us: #guillotines.

The terms #advertising & #commercial are really just #euphemisms for #CapitalistPropaganda. You’ve literally been #programmed over the years to think you have rights without duties, and by extension, that the elite have rights without duties as well. But, you don’t really have the same “rights” as #billionaires. Do you? And #capitalism is founded on #social #contract. We give the elite the “right” to accumulate #fortunes that allow for #production at #scale. In return, they do their “duty” and ensure that #productivity is #invested in a manner that benefits the masses giving them the right to be rich. Otherwise: #guillotines. Right?

Been reminded by @JonnElledge in his marvellous book, 'The Compendium of (Not-Quite) Everything', that we have the French Revolution to thank for the metric system. This fact gives a sort of credence to right-wing, imperial measurement nut-nuts' aversion to it. #metric #imperial #guillotines

In case anyone wants to spice up their company Slack's #random channel, "MACROECONOMIC CHANGES HAVE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO WANT TO PAY YOU" by Mike Lacher in McSweeneys, is a nice grenade to just roll in there:

Strong language from our #Riverford veg box today - pretty justified too. #RightToRoam #Guillotines

"For centuries, while mainland Europe was in revolutionary turmoil, Britain’s rich and powerful avoided the guillotine by granting just enough, just in time. ... Now it seems that some feel responsibility only to themselves."

Finally got around to reading The End of the Road to Serfdom by @pluralistic from November 2022. It's a good read: https://doctorow.medium.com/the-end-of-the-road-to-serfdom-bfad6f3b35a9 #capitalism #plutocracy #peasants #guillotines

people who want to outlaw strikes obviously don't remember what the alternative to them are.

#guillotines

“Transparency”, “sales”, “humane way”, “metrics”, “empathy”, “efficiency”.

Basically: “I wanna be richer and the easiest way is to just fire a bunch of you”

#guillotines

You ever wonder how many #guillotines a #billion dollars would buy?

Just things you think about when visiting France and learning about the #FrenchRevolution.

#accounting

Any #accountants out there who can tell me why the tax loopholes that enable the rich to avoid paying tax can't be opened to us plebs? I have this crazy idea that if we all suddenly had offshore accounts and were paying nothing suddenly those loopholes might disappear 🤔.

(I want to pay tax. I want the rich to, too. Just looking at the #UK crumbling like Gormenghast with the knowledge that it's still one of the richest countries in the world)

Whoops forgot to mention #guillotines

On the other hand, #Macron is the only #European politician who worries that the #French people are about to wake up and put #guillotines in front of all #US_puppets
